Chapter 936 - 979: The Wedding Concludes
Mu Beiting uttered three words without hesitation, "I do!"
After Mu Beiting answered, the priest turned his gaze to Ye Anxin, and with the same serious face, asked, "Miss Ye Anxin, do you agree to marry the man next to you named Mu Beiting as your husband, to live with him according to the teachings of the Bible, to become one with him before God, to love him, comfort him, and respect him? Regardless of his sickness or health, wealth or poverty, will you remain faithful to him, never abandoning him, until you depart from this world?"
Ye Anxin did not immediately answer the priest; instead, she looked at Mu Beiting, opened her red lips slightly, and spoke slowly in front of everyone, "I, Ye Anxin, agree to marry you, Mu Beiting, as my husband. With the utmost sincerity and joy, I embark on a new life with you. Just as you promise to give your life and all your love to me, I am equally delighted to offer my life to you and to trust you. Therefore, I am willing to say to you, my husband, I will cherish you, submit to you, take care of you, and make you happy. I will support you, comfort you, and encourage you. Thus, through our lifetime, no matter what we encounter, I pledge to you that I will be your obedient and faithful wife."
As soon as Ye Anxin finished speaking, a thunderous noise erupted from the guest seats.
Hearing the applause intensifying, Ye Anxin felt less nervous instead! Her heart was filled with excitement and happiness!
So overwhelmed with happiness, she felt her nose tingle, her eyes warm, as if she was about to cry inadvertently.
When everyone’s applause gradually subsided, Mu Beiting suddenly cradled Ye Anxin’s hands with his own, placed them on his thin lips, kissed them gently, and then slowly spoke, "I, Mu Beiting, wish to marry you, Ye Anxin, as my wife. With utmost sincerity and joy, I welcome you into my life, making us one and a whole. I want to be your loving and faithful husband. I promise to love you with the deepest love, care for you with all my heart, and nurture you with the most gentle demeanor. I promise that your position in my life is the most important. I promise to lead our life into one filled with faith, hope, and love. From today onwards, whether in prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or sickness, I will always love and cherish you until the end of time. On this sacred day of marriage, in front of everyone, I vow to you, I will always be your loving and faithful husband."
Mu Beiting recited quite a lot all at once as if he had memorized it beforehand!
This version of Mu Beiting filled the attendees with disbelief, their eyes widened in astonishment.
Is this still the silent, aloof, and emotionally unexpressive Mu Beiting they knew?
Who would have thought that such a cold-blooded man in the business arena could speak such a long, heartfelt speech?
Listening to Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin’s heart couldn’t calm its excitement! She originally wanted to cry, and now she couldn’t hold back anymore, tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.
Her tears were alarming, causing Mu Beiting to hurriedly pull out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her tears, "Don’t cry, today is a day of great happiness, shedding tears is not good! As I said, in this lifetime, I only want to see you smile, I don’t want to see you cry again!"
Ye Anxin nodded, fearing her makeup would smudge, she carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes!
The priest nodded with satisfaction, a slight smile tugging at his lips, and continued, "Now, for the exchange of wedding rings, let the bride and groom exchange wedding rings!"
Hearing the mention of wedding rings, Ye Anxin was momentarily dazed! She had no wedding rings prepared! Today’s wedding was so sudden, she had prepared nothing, so she hadn’t prepared any rings.
Just as she was at a loss for what to do, Ling Yueyue had already taken out a delicate little box and opened it in front of Ye Anxin, revealing a shiny wedding ring to Ye Anxin’s eyes at once.
Staring at the ring, Ye Anxin widened her eyes in disbelief and asked, "This is...?"
Ling Yueyue chuckled, whispered softly in Ye Anxin’s ear, "Rest assured! Since your uncle promised you a surprise, all the things have naturally been prepared by him! Don’t look at this ring as ordinary, but this ring is designed by an internationally renowned designer, from the design drawing to completion took nearly half a year! So, this ring embodies all the love and kindness your uncle has for you!"
Listening to Ling Yueyue’s words, Ye Anxin could barely hold back her tears, and they burst forth again.
Just as Ye Anxin couldn’t hold back her tears, Mu Beiting had already received the wedding ring from the best man, then pulled out Ye Anxin’s hand and placed the ring on her right middle finger.
Looking at the diamond ring on her right middle finger, Ye Anxin choked up several times, unable to speak.
Seeing Ye Anxin remain motionless, just staring at the ring in her hand dazedly, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but gently nudge Ye Anxin with her hand, "Anxin, what are you spacing out for? Aren’t you going to put the ring on your uncle?"
Only then did Ye Anxin regain her senses, quickly took the ring from Ling Yueyue’s small box, then grabbed Mu Beiting’s right hand and slipped the ring onto his middle finger!
When both rings were on, the priest spoke again, "Finally, let the groom kiss your bride!"
As the priest’s voice fell, another thunderous noise erupted from the guest seats, some even whistling to enhance the atmosphere.
With everyone making such a commotion, Ye Anxin’s cheeks couldn’t help but blush a little!
Mu Beiting stepped forward, gently pinched her chin with his right hand, lifted her head, leaned down, and kissed her red lips forcefully!
When the two soft lips met, time seemed to come to a halt.
Mu Beiting ignored the presence of so many people, passionately and fervently kissed Ye Anxin’s red lips! Their bodies pressed tightly together, Ye Anxin could almost clearly feel Mu Beiting’s chaotic and irregular heartbeat.
Mu Beiting kissed for a long time until Yan Qinghan’s teasing voice came from the guest seats, "Hey, Mu Beiting, our little sister-in-law is almost out of breath from your kiss! So many people here, what’s your hurry? There’s plenty of time to take it slow tonight!"
To ensure everyone could hear him, Yan Qinghan deliberately amplified his voice!
Following Yan Qinghan’s teasing, the whistles from the guest seats grew louder, and Ye Anxin’s cheeks grew redder.
Mu Beiting kissed for a while longer before reluctantly releasing Ye Anxin’s red lips.
"I hereby swear in the name of God that Mu Beiting and Miss Ye Anxin are officially married, hoping you will share happiness and hardships together, and grow old together!" With the priest’s final words, the originally seated guests all stood up to applaud and bless them.
[PS: There are two more Chapters to come, timing is uncertain, will reveal the heroine’s first secret, and then it’s the grand finale! Kisses to everyone!]
